Watching the video (15 min)

Introduction to the video  The Air 

• These two sessions come after many sessions about
  air, whose common objective was to make students
  aware that even though air is invisible, its
  matter and therefore it  occupies space .
• Systematically, the teacher asks the students,
  first individually, then in groups, to justify
  their predictions before making the experiment,
  which allows them to express their initial
  thoughts and reasoning.

7
Fill in sections A B of the tool (20 min)

• Work individually do not exchange with your
  partners yet
• Remember
• Provide qualitative evidence from your notes for
  all NO and NA answers

8
Discuss your judgements in pairs (20 min)

• Identify the items for which at least one of you
  have recorded NO, discuss the reasons
• Identify the items for which at least one of you
  have recorded NA, discuss the reasons
• Make a list of the items on which you do not
  agree, either on the judgement or on the reasons,
  and for each one say what is the focus of the
  disagreement

9
Whole group discussion (20 min)

• Share your judgements so that we can identify
  the items where disagreement is most severe
• Lets discuss these items and sort them out

10
Tomorrows class visit (10 min)

• The objective of tomorrows class visit is to
  provide a context for using the IBSE Diagnostic
  Tool in a real classroom situation
• During the class visit you will take notes and
  then record your observations on the form of the
  IBSE Diagnostic Tool, just as we have done today.
  If possible, fill in also section C
• While observing, keep in mind the list of
  pre-requisites for IBSE and note whether some are
  not present
• Remember to take notes during the session and
  fill in the form soon after the observations are
  made
• Tomorrow afternoon, we will meet again and
  analyse the data you have recovered together. So
  it is very important that you play the game!!!
